[TYPO3-templavoila] How to configure a TV-field to be of type

[Žiga Dolhar]

Hello Ron,

I was afraid of that :-/.

The reason I moved TS from TV-XML field to TS-template was that it is 
much easier & faster to access it when I need to make any modifications 
or simply play with it. Also, the TV-module does not provide the ts 
"editor" with code completion and code coloring.

(The other reason for moving from TV-XML code to TS-template was being 
able to access TS constants.)

I am not sure about how TV-developers would feel about it, but I am 
thinking about submitting this as a feature request :-).

Yours,
Žiga

In that case if you need to modify the output you would write TypoScript in the TypoScript tag in that field within the XML of the data structure. You cannot bring the TS from outside in that scenario.

However, as I wanted to "outsource" the typoscript to main TS-template, I changed its "element preset" from "Page-content elements" to "Typoscript Object path" and set object path to "lib.field_content".
